Green Ideas Project
About the Green Ideas
Green Ideas is a youth-led initiative implemented in Ghana and Madagascar, funded by the Swedish Mission through YMCA/YWCA Sweden. The project aligns with the Sustainable Planet pillar of World YMCA’s Vision 2030 and focuses on empowering young changemakers to drive environmental action through education, leadership, and community engagement. In Madagascar, the initiative strengthens community preparedness, promotes eco-citizenship, and facilitates plastic waste recovery. The project also actively supports Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 13 by advocating for urgent climate action. Through dedicated efforts, Green Ambassadors (youth volunteers committed to sustainability) lead community campaigns, train students, and raise awareness.
